In the case of a Test-tube baby’

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The term “test-tube baby” refers to in vitro fertilization (IVF), a procedure in which eggs and sperm are combined outside the mother’s body in a laboratory to form embryos; these embryos are then placed into the uterus for pregnancy. Thus, fertilization occurs outside the mother’s body, and subsequent development into a fetus happens inside the mother’s uterus where the embryo is implanted and nourished [1]. Options asserting that the baby develops inside the test-tube or that an unfertilized egg develops in the test-tube are incorrect. Therefore option 3 is the correct choice.
